To all whom it may concern."

Be it known that I, PETER Gr. GIELEN, a, citizen of the Republic of France, residing at Peterson, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Looms, of which the following is a specification.

This invention consists in an improved form of batten structure for a loom of the type set forth in my application for Letters Patent Serial No. 319,722 in which the web of warp and finished goods stands in an upright position and the beating up of the filling to the fell of the cloth 'takesplace upwardly. In place o fusing the same medium-the beatingaip prortions of the dents of the reed to. effect the beating up and also form a race over which the shuttle travels as has heretofore been done in looms of this type, in. consequence of which the wear and tear which such medium undergoes at the instance ct the shuttle cause the reed to produce imperfections in the finished goods, I construct the batten structure with a series of filling-carrier-faceforming dent portions arranged higher than the 'heatingup dent portions and parallel therewith but clear of the plane of the finished goods. In the preferred construction there are two such series of filling-canrier-rac'e-torming dent ortions, one on each side of; the plane of the finished goods, and they together form the filling-carrier. race, and they are further so constructed that they keep the shuttle or other filling carrier to a perfect rectilinear course.

In the drawing,-

Figure 1v shows the improved batten structure in plane; and

Fig. 2 shows said structure on a larger scale invertical transverse section, the harness and the upper guide roller {or the cloth also appearing in vertical transverse section.

"lherc is a roller 0 or equivalent guide over which the woven goods A passes to taizemp means (not shown), the warp B 'i'roin let-off means below (not which is here illustrated as harness frames I) arranged to slide horizontally in suitable guides c.

The batten structure has a vertical 0pendents of "the reed but extendi-n ing e through which the sheetlot warp finished goods extends, and it is reciprocated vertically in a plane substantially parallel with the plane of the finished goods A from the position shown'by' full. lines tov Included in the batten structure is a. hint zontal reed which is suitably supported in the two rails in the opening 6, itsdents k of course extending parallel with the planes of movement of the warp in order to form the sheds. and their beating-up por tions ,lz' being positioned so as .to be bisectcd by plane of the. finished goods. Also included in'the batten structure. are

two opposite horizontal combs Z'Which are suitably secured to the two rails in openmg a above and somewhat spaced fromthe reed, their dents Z being parallel with-the" the plane of the finished goods. Z afford the race .for the shuttled. T he pair clear of hes'e dents of series of dents Z I preferably form with a groove or (otherwise stated, each series'has a rabbct) 'at the upper side, as shown, with which the opening a between the two series communicates, such groove serving as '-a guideway to keep the course of the' shuttle' rect1l1near.in its flight from one-shuttle box to the other.

By this construction the shuttle traveL through the sheds of the warps B properly supported in its flight, and also properly.-

guided, and the beating-up portions of the.

dents of the reed are saved any wear and tear or injury which the shuttle might cause and which in the weaving of delicate fabrics in particular are likely to result in imperfections thereinwhcn the reed acts to beat up the filling. In the beating-up the "slot or opening it receives the cloth A and permits the beatingmp portions of the reed dents to come up to the fell of the cloth, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 2;;wher. the shed opens the dents Z, being tapered, Fig. 1, act to part the threads of the warp.
